1. A method of sealing a wire harness assembly for a door mirror assembly of a vehicle, the method comprising:
obtaining a first wire harness that is surrounded by a rigid encasing;
removing a first portion of the rigid encasing along a first portion of the first wire harness to obtain a flexible segment and exposing a set of pins running through an interior of the first wire harness; and
coupling the first wire harness to a second wire harness by wrapping together, using a fabric-based tape, the flexible segment to an adjacent segment of the second wire harness, thereby forming a wire harness assembly.
